Description
Hi! This is my submission for ost composing game jam #7
The name of my imaginary game is Mindful Matters.
I imagine an exploration heavy game, with light combat.
The narrative follows a young girl who wrestles with mental health issues, and seeks the help of a magical therapist. Together, with the help of a fantastical helmet, they enter the girls mind. Inside, they travel through the wonders of her brain and fight off her issues.
Track 1: Opening titles: this plays during main menu, and when you first boot up the game. I want to set the scene with it, and emphesise that despite the sad narrative, this is supposed to be a hopeful game.
Track 2: Through the looking glass: The track plays after the magical therapist begins her work, by putting special helmet on the girl. She sees all her memories, the good and the bad flash before her. Then suddenly the device kicks in, and after a short pause transports them into the dream realm, signified by the etherial music.
Track 3: Neural highways: This is one of the areas she explores, the connective highways between other areas. I wanted it to feel happy as a kind of respite. I wanted to include at least one track that wasn't "cutscene music", this is a game soundtrack jam after all.
Track 4: The outer world: After reaching the centre of her mind, called the "Perception Peninsula" they fight off the final enemy, insecurity, and through her real eyes, she sees the outer world. She sees once again her memories, this time floating in the water around the peninsula, but she ignores them and leaves the dream world. This is signified by the opening title music playing at the end.
Thank you for listening through it : ]
Message from the artist
I hope you will enjoy it : )
Theme
Inside my world
Picture theme
How does it fit the theme?
It is set in the magical world of the mind, with a little girl as the protagonist. I tried making the soundtrack etherial and thoughtful.
